If you love a little variety in your presentation style, then I have a great resource for you that I will try to keep updated as I find helpful websites.  I created a one page Google Slide, bit.ly/slides-stockpile, that has hundreds of templates connected to it!  Just bookmark it in Chrome, and you should be able to find the perfect template for that next lesson or presentation.

TwosDays - Amanda - URL Links

If you are not already putting links in your Slides, Docs, Sheets, or Forms, you should have this simple understanding of how to link other information without long HTML addresses on the screen.  You can repeat the process with anything from pictures to titles to emails that would be worth hyperlinking for the benefit of your students.

TwosDay - Sean - Google Docs Comparison Tool

Comparing similarities and differences can be really powerful for learning. I was poking around in Google Docs recently, and I stumbled upon a new feature that allows you to compare two documents.

Either way, this new tool that lives inside Google Docs can be really powerful.
